Recommendation: Appointment a new Attorney General

Voastra Maxhestà,

I bring you bad news and good news.
The bad news is that our Attorney General has informed me that his life outsife Talossa keeps him busy to such an extent that it interferes with his work as Attorney General. He therefore wishes to resign. It seems to me that we have little choice but to accept his resignation. I would like to thank S:reu Ursüm for his willingness to serve as AG these last few weeks and for all the work he has done in his role and I wish him all the best with the rest of his life, both in Talossa and in the UK. 

The good news is that we have been able to find a very good replacement; Someone with consirable experience in Talossa's legal world already, who also happens to be a former Justice on the Uppermost Court.

Therefore I, Glüc da Dhi, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that Your Majesty appoint:

Adm. T.M. Asmourescu
to the position of
Attorney-General 

A Letter of Thanks and Clarification: Dismissal of All Deputies

Announcement: A Letter of Thanks and Clarification from the Government

On behalf of His Majesty's Government, I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to all the Deputy Ministers who served under the previous government. The work you put in was exceptional and you are all a credit to the Talossan nation as a result of the work you have poured into the last government. But, as I'm sure you've noticed, times are in fact changing. The challenges of coalition government are manifold and it requires the politicisation of Deputy Ministers in the sense that they are now required to be as this government understands, 'political understudies' as Minister Schiva put it.

Deputy Ministers for Stuff, Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Justice, this government would like to thank you for your time and effort. You are, as of the 25th of January 2014, relieved of your duties. Take a well deserved rest, and once again: I thank you.

Recommendation: Appointment of the Cabinet and the Túischac'h

Voastra Maxhestà,

the coalition parties, MRPT, ZRT and LPR/RPT have agreed on the appointment of a cabinet consisting of the following ministers. The result is a strong team, consisting of members of all three parties and independents, both young, ambitious politicians and experienced Talossans, including two former Prime Ministers and also a former President and two former PMs of the Republic. All these Talossans have shown to be active, loyal and dedicated, so I am confident they will serve Talossa well.

Therefore I, Glüc da Dhi, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that Your Majesty appoint these Talossan citizens to the following cabinet posts:

C. Carlüs Xheraltescù
to the position of
Distain

Éovart Andrinescu to the position of Foreign Minister	Mximo Carbonel to the position of Defence Minister	Ián B. Anglatzarâ to the position of Minister of Immigration	Lüc da Schir to the position of Minister of Stuff
Gödafrïeu Válcadác’h to the position of Home Minister	Istefan Perþonest to the position of Finance Minister	Miestrâ Schivâ, UrN to the position of Minister of Culture	Óïn Ursüm to the position of Attorney-General

Furthermore, a functioning government needs control and opposition coming from a functioning parliament and such a parliament needs an active speaker. Last term this speaker was a member of the opposition and it seems like a good idea to continue this tradition

Therefore I would further recommend that Your Majesty appoint:

Sir C.M. Siervicül
to the position of
Túischac'h

Acting MinImm: Béneditsch Ardpresteir

Due to the continued silence from our current Minister of Immigration, I am naming Béneditsch Ardpresteir as Acting Minister of Immigration.

Cabinet Change Recommendations

I come now before the throne seeking an audience to recommend the appointment of Ministers to Your Majesty’s Government.

The following Talossans have proven through their abilities, hard work, dedication, loyalty, and most of all their Talossanity that they will serve the nation well as Ministers in Your Majesty's Government.

Therefore, I, Çesli da Chilseu, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that Your Gracious Majesty appoint these loyal subjects to the following cabinet posts:


Pöl d'Aurìbuérg
to the position of
Distain


Béneditsch Ardpresteir
to the position of
Attorney-General


Audradâ d'Aurìbuérg
to the position of
Minister of Immigration


Confident that the Crown will consent to accept these wise recommendations, may I be the first to congratulate each of the newly appointed Ministers and I wish them every success in their Ministries. I look forward to working with y'all.

Resignation of the Seneschal

Fellow Talossans --

One hour ago, at 12:12:12 Talossan Time on 12/12/12, being the thirty-second Llimbaziua (and also known as Sound Check Day), I tendered my resignation as Prime Minister to His Majesty the King, who accepted it with some reluctance. This step, coming as it does at the end of my term as President of the Comità del Útzil del Glheþ, is something that I have discussed with members of my party and the government for the past month or so.

It has been a distinct pleasure to serve again as the Prime Minister for this wonderful nation, and the decision to step aside was not one that was made lightly. I have come to feel, however, that with events outside the nation taking much of my time, I am currently not able to serve with the dedication required from a Seneschal, and that the nation would be better served by a fresh leadership team less encumbered by outside responsibilities and obligations.

The Right Honourable Distain, Çesli da Chilseu, having indicated her readiness and willingness to do so, is now the 40th Seneschal of the Kingdom of Talossa, and after the administration of her oath of office, will settle into her duties, beginning with appointing her own replacement in the position of Distain.

S:r Pôl d'Aurìbuérg takes over, effective immediately, as Party Leader of the RUMP.

The trappings of my office (especially all the mail I get, the duties of prodding the Immigration Minister incessantly, trying to resist the urge to go back to doing his job so that it gets done, and the Website updating responsibilities) will be transferred to their new owners over the next days and weeks.

I thank the nation for honouring me with the chance to lead the government, which I leave in good hands. I further trust in the fact that the future of Talossa is as bright as or brighter than ever (as long as the world doesn't end in nine days like so many TV shows would like us to believe).

In leaving office, I am proud to become the first Talossan Prime Minister to have been both preceded and followed in office by a female. I offer Prime Minister da Chilseu my very best wishes for success in the remainder of the Cosa, confident that the trust given her is well-placed.

Appointment of a New Minister of Stuff
With sympathy and sadness, I accepted the resignation this morning of Stéafan d'Unmortadel as Minister of Stuff, and offered on behalf of the nation its grateful thanks for his service. S:r d'Unmortadel tendered this resignation due to a tragic death of a family member, and his own feeling that this tragedy will, understandably, render him unable to dedicate himself to his position as a minister of the government for the near-term future.

To S:r d'Unmortadel, who is himself still recovering from surgery, go the thoughts, wishes, and prayers of his nation through this time of grief and shock. I have assured our friend that we, his fellow-citizens, are here for him and will be here waiting his return to active Talossan life once he has gone through the trials of his current circumstances.

This post in the Cabinet being vacant, I, Ma la Mha, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that His Majesty the King do appoint:

Danihel Teziun to the position of Minister of Stuff

S:r Teziun's current position as Chief of the Bureau of SPAM, is left vacant, but I am informed that it will be filled by a new Head Spammajamma within a couple of weeks.

Minister Teziun is welcomed (back) to office, and comes with the enthusiasm necessary for the job. The important work of the Ministry of STUFF, especially as regards the creation and population of the new Web presence for the Kingdom and the expansion of its social networking tentacles, will proceed with as little delay as possible.

Approval of a Wittenberg Guest
This morning, His Majesty the King forwarded me an email he received from the 24th Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Talossa, a man who served in that office longer than any other, leading the government during six consecutive Cosas, and for over three years.

My famed and esteemed predecessor has requested, and I have (with unspeakable joy) granted, the permission required by 35RZ2, The Wittenberg is for Talossans Act, to be a guest here on Wittenberg.

It is with incredible pleasure that I am able to re-introduce to these pages the great former Talossan (and yes, I have already begun the begging process to convince him to re-embrace his Talossanity by reclaiming his lapsed citizenship)....

And a very Happy Monarchy Day to us all!

Recommendation of a Túischac'h
Voastra Maxhestà —

I come now before the throne seeking an audience to recommend the appointment of a Túischac'h for Your Majesty's 44th Cosa.

Your Majesty's previous First Minister is a loyal and dedicated Talossan, whose retirement from the helm of government was hard-earned. She comments daily on her happy state of retirement, aggravating me to no end. Pleased to be able to do absolutely nothing in government anymore, she looks forward to spending time in her duties as Your Majesty's Chancellor of the Royal Talossan Bar, and to continuing to laugh at me for my present fate and circumstances. Insisting that this state of laziness be preserved, before agreeing to accept appointment to the post now in question, she has made doubly sure that there shall be no work involved whatsoever, work that might take time away from her ridiculing me and telling me how happy she is not to be me. Having found that this post will not interfere with those requirements upon which she so insists, she has consented to serve should the Crown so appoint her.

Therefore, I, Ma la Mha, Seneschal del Regipäts Talossan, with all duly vested authority and stuff, hereby recommend that Your Gracious Majesty appoint Erschéveþ (Litz) Cjantscheir, Esq. to the post of Túischac'h of the Cosa.

Confident that the Crown will consent to accept this wise recommendation, I make myself the first to congratulate my esteemed predecessor as she takes up the non-duties of this her new sinecure. I look forward to her doing absolutely nothing, and doing it well. If we actually have a Living Cosa and she has to do something, I will promise to laugh at her, but unfortunately, I don't see it happening.

Seneschal announces Twitter

After some discussion with members of the Ministry of Stuff concerning whether the account should be "RTSeneschal" or something, it was decided that a Twitter account called @BaronHooligan would suffice to allow your Prime Minister (that would be me) to twoot things to anyone who cares what he (that would be me) wants to twoot about.

So, while I have never twooted before, and also can't promise when I'll twoot for the first time, I guess those of you who know how to do such things can "Follow" me or whatever.

I promise not to twoot about when I need to visit the restroom and stuff (otherwise, why do we have GoogleTalk?!), and, while serving as Seneschal, I will probably try to restrict my twooting to Talossan governmental matters. Any guidance in what might or might not be good twoot-fodder will be welcome. Anything the government does (like the bureau reorganisations currently going on) might be twooted, even though any Wittsters will also be obviously aware of them. Will that be overkill? How should I know? I have never used this twooter thing ever before.

There is also another Twitter account, of course, @Talossa, which currently has over 100 followers and which the government (specifically the Ministry of Stuff) will work to make more active.
